Yes, it can be done, Luxurymods.com and the retrofitsource.com have all the parts you need to get it done.
I myself have done the Infiniti M45 retrofit on my 01 GS300, love it.

Heres a great video showing why NOT to use LED's in non LED projectors as well as using HID, Halogen and LED's in incorrect housings.

Fantastic video covering every angle of improper lighting uses:

do you think the OP cares about this video or output? He wants those horrible, cheesy, eBay headlights.
